dh trust me on this one... with respect too women. You WONT get what you dont ask for!!!
Now I don't mean that in the dirty sense (well but that's even true as well) I mean that a good woman will NEVER make the first move. No matter how interested she is. So don't hesitate to just ask her out and then plan a nice evening. Nothing fancy and dont pretend to be something you arent. Women are a dime a dozen and dont feel compelled to get heavily involved with the first one. Let nature take its course and if it was supposed to happen it will. Just be cool and take the lead. If she is interesed she will show you by wanting to be around you more often.
They arent glass and they arent concrete (well sometimes their heads just seem that way! [:@]) they are emotional little critters that like to be taken care of, looked out for and treated with respect. My best advice (besides the above) is keep em laughing. THE easiest thing for a man to do is keep the gal laughing. When they are happy they are content and open to doing more with you. The LARGE majority of women rank a sense of humor above most things like looks, wealth, physical strength etc. That and also keep them talking. GOD do they like to run that yapper. Always answer their questions with more questions. If a woman talks then she sees you as a good communicator who is genuinely interested in her and what she has to say.
So keep em laughin and talkin and don't be afraid to take charge of the situation!!!

And oh yeah, ALWAYS open the door for em. That seems to be a lost art these days!!!
